#w12 fleet help
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
I am unable to really make something out of that for W12 that I'm comfortable with telling you will succes, you lack AA carries for W12/13
Oof
Can cleve does it for him
For W12 probably, but that's still only 1 of 2 fleets.
So bit hard without sandy or cheschire
Those two make W12/13 a lot more comfortable yeah. Isuzu is also an option, and you can farm for her (though a bit oil painful) in W7-3
Hmm
What are you talking about took me 90 oil to get isuzu 
... 14k ish? 😛
Is she super rare?
Oh prob is
Nah, it's really just down to RNG.
I mean, some people spend way more than that on Akaga / Kagi, whom I both got while clearing 3-4, so
Yes, she's a rare. Needs retrofitting to become top 3 AA carry
14k oil😂 tf?
Yeah go try
Anyway, as far as reccomendation:
I'd say for mobbing
Chise, Unicorn, Independence (but do retrofit her). Yume, Cleveland, Rikka
Boss
UvH, Essex, Ark, Portland, Helena, Prinz Adalbert
For both w12/13?

For W13 you really want Sandy/Isuzu/Chesh and higher levels
Portland helena akane?
It's the best I can see 😛
What’s akane doing in vanguard
Is indep good without her third skill?
I just did 🙂
Can’t form one for you
Or this?
Honestly? Mostly ships I do not see you having
Ehh so I gotta wait few months?
But uss cl usually have high aa so get them
= sandy
W13 / 14 ramp up the difficulty by quite a bit.
W13 is basically W12 with more and harder hitting planes
Hmm if w13 doable with my ships +sandy?
That too, but also carriers with fighter slots 😛
Gonna get rekt if you don’t hit air supremacy/superiority
So I kinda have enough cv/cvl?
Like Ark doesn't have fighters, so you ideally want a CV with. (Or centaur)
Standard cv with fighter might do it but someone like centaur or even illustrious is gonna make you life easier
2 fighter slots
Oof I hav no way to get all these ships excluding cheshire without doing normal gacha?
I have exam ship I havent picked
But I wanna be more sure which to pick since exchange can gib sandy or enty so Ill just wait till one shows up and buy another
= Ill just pull normal gachas
?
I'm counting 7 CVs in your screenshots. 2 of them have no fighters: Ranger and Ark, so that leaves you with 5 that can slot fighters. I'm personally not that fond of Saratoga since you have Essex already.
Chise, Unicorn, Indepence are good on mobbing, so that leaves the bit of bossing
Uuf
I’m going with essex uvh enty for boss if you want reference
Essex, Saratoga, Enterprise would be a pretty decent bossing main I think, once they are leveled, or indeed Essex, UvH, Enty
Pr3 grind seems best for you now cause of the sextuple and cheshire
Yep
Hm so I will be oki once I get cheshire + some gear?
So you need HMS vanguards, but those are a bit ... rare in your screenshots.
I see London, Leander, Norfolk.
Yeh I am lacking alot of good ships for grinding pr
How high dev does he need cheshire to be
For AA carry? 15 if I recall
25 for her full tank potential, 15 for AA
So 15 enough for w13?
Probably.
Idk wot vg pressure looks Like
On s13
Wait if dev 15 hmm lemme check how many prints itnis
My dev21 ancho helena sandy almost died all the time on 13-3 
1 rudder makes you like that
Breh
73 for dev 15, 133 for dev 20
Lemme check how many
prints I have
I kinda held off on W13 for a pretty long time, so I went in overprepared
And level your skills
29 prints
Nice
I am always leveling skills
My essex with 3 sl1 do nothing but dealing 1/5 dmg to the boss
For reference, my fleets for doing W13 (way overkill)
Mob: Perseus / Formidable / Centaur + Noshiro / Jeanne D'arc / Sandy Kai
Boss: Monarch / Illustrious / Enterprise + Cheshire / Seattle / Baltimore
Yeah. The advantage of playing for a while. You'll get there eventually too.
If I dont do normal gacha pulls = no centaur for me?
I think I got centaur through wishing well pulling.
Once or twice per year there's a wishing well event, in which you can pick a pool, and then 2 ships from that pool that'll get a personal rateup
Hmm if I cant really do much other than that than mostly wait and do opsi?
Grind up more ships and do OpSi would be my current advice yes.
Primarily just expand the high level options you have
Hmm maybe Ill get 12-4 for coins and then focus on opsi and let w13 wait
I used lusty/indep/unicorn portland/phoenix/rikka for mob, a bit lackluster in backline dmg but can keep vanguard up a bit
But then the pressure is solely on vanguard to kill the aa ships
You got away without ssndy or ches /isuzu?
I used sandy in boss
Oof
Cause rikka and phoenix seem to have enough aa for mob
Rikka’s aa aux is basically a sextuple anyway
For opsi ships should I use/ get?
Huh
That's where the more and higher levels come into play for 😉
You mean I gotta 125 my ships?
No, just more to 100+
Should he just make 4 fleets with mediocre ships for now or make 2/whatever fleets all the good ones can fit in
Lemme show wot I am running
I'm not sure, which tactic would be better. 2 fleets with the best possible sounds like the better option for farming materials
Fleet 4 is just randy ships fleet 3= leveling fleet
Ill swap uvh to 2 once high level enough
And rikka prob back to boss
You kinda have enough alright ships then
Oh yeah that’s a lot of mobbing stuff
I feel like I have too many mobbers
Imma ss my rest ships hmm
Nvm most are not good prob only maybe somwthing useful in tjis ss
Give bulin
?
I even lack universal bulin now
At some point, once you have fleets set up well enough you run out while limitbreaking everything.
I kinda know the feeling
Tho about my ships for opsi. I have enogh for mob fleet?
And then only level bossers for rest 3 fleet?
Don’t know why but I kinda go against healer even in mob fleet for opsi, maybe because I use it as my main boss fleet as well and don’t want the siren with heal stealing skill to take everything 
Uuf but how you hp sustain?
I like my healer, so that I can onefleet pretty much everything in OpSi except arbiter/siren/final stronghold boss
Heal kits from OpSi and the occasional port heal. Keeping topped up in OpSi isn't too difficult.
I go back to ports/use items 
I dont want to spend coins 
I'm just lazy, so I use Perseus + JdA in my "mobbing" fleet
Your fleet 1 looked fine to me
Replace her when she hits 120 with someone you want to give xp to
Rikka?
Any of your mob vanguard 😉
She not worth 125?
Sure she is, but get more to 120 is more useful than getting 1 to 125
Tru
By standard you want 1 cv fleet 1 HE focused bb 1 AP focused bb 1 mob fleet
Yeah, that's the most common setup in OpSi
Abyssals all have weaknesses, which you tailor your fleets towards.
For example, 1 of the enemies looks like a stingray, and is a DD with weakness shelling. So that's the one you hit with your HE BB fleet.
= Ill swap gear only ?
Another is a squid looking one, and is a CV with medium armor and weakness to torpedoes. So that's what you toss your AP BB fleet at (which ideally contains a vanguard that likes torpedoes as well)
If you have, there are ships with bonus dmg for HE like uvh riche
For example, my AP BB fleet is made up of: Monarch, Warkai, Howe, with a vanguard of Noshiro, Naganami, Shimakaze. That fleet is specifically made to take down the abyssal CV siren
Both noshiro and naganami buff the torp strikes from shimakaze, which is good against that specific siren because weakness torpedoes. And because it's a medium armor the AP BBs also do really well.
Uuf but I need moar ships 
Yes, that really is your current roadblock. And sadly the only thing you can do for now is to wait out events for them.
Kinda not worth levelling most of my ships?
And try to get some from PR grinding.
Likemadge yuki sara hood
I'm not saying that. Every ship is worth leveling, but for W13/14 and the higher content in OpSi you want more meta ships eventually
Yeh I will
But even for opsi
You can retrofit some ships
Indep and others prob not worth it
Why isn’t london retrofitted 
Eh dont see her being useful later
Up till W12-4 you can get away with waifu ships. In Opsi you can get away with waifu except against the C6 siren with zombie heal as long as you have 4 full fleets with good gear/skills/levels
Leander is kinda ok too with the smokescreen
But just ok D:
Saratoga
London is one of the better easily gotten gunboats, yes she's squishy and wants to be in mid, but she's definately worth it
mobber or bosser?
Mobber more than boss, because squish and in mobbing you have a healer
Yeah, Saratoga gets replaced by Enty
Yeh dont need more mobbers 
Ye so kinda not worth retroing any except indep right?
Unless I reslly need ships now
I'd really say retro London too. While she's better at mobbing than bossing, she's still a very good mid position DPS vanguard
Z46?
Pre oil-cap I'd also have said to retro Leander, because she's a really solid CL for low oil cost, but with oilcap there simply are better ones. But for PR grind she'll be a really good asset, so that really is more up to if you want to spend resources on retrofitting Leander and making your grind easier, or just suffer grinding longer
46 is solid
Replaces london?
Leander useful for wot pr sjips 
I'm not that well versed in DDs, but Z46 is a really solid one.
Cheshire
Aa

Cheshire mainly, but also Neptune 🙂
46 has good gun good torp nice barrage
If I recall correctly, my grind for Neptune was: Leander, London, Javelin, and for Chesh it was Neptune, London, Leander
Most of her damage is AP though
Ohh
But leander kinda useless for later is there any ships I should get snd is good?
Hmm then none replsces london for while?
They are interchangeable I think. I'm going to be honest, I haven't done much with DDs, except for Javelin for hardmode EVA statpadding, Shimakaze, and currently Kazagumo.
Dds not useful other than that?
I use dd a lot cause I like lolis but only the top ones though so I’m no difference 
I like other ships more than lolis so yeah ... 😛
It's biting me in the butt now, because W14 likes more DDs, so yeah
W12-13 dd fall off cause of their low aa so yeah, but they become useful again at 14-3
OpSi is really forgiving in that sense. No need for max AA in any of the fights
Sure they’re nice in there
Just throw a pearl tear on them and they will also support when they die 
I wonder if suicide healing is tjingi on opsi?
Like purplosely having 1 nub ship to just die every round?
Nah, it's not really that effective. It's easier to just use items or port heal
But if against port healing?
I'd feel bad for constantly having a girl with tolls of war and at 5% hp.
With the item, I guess.

I do not know for sure, and I definitely do not condone abusing a girl in that way
Toll lf the war = just weaker ship?
Tolls of war disables skills
In OpSi yeah
At least, I think it's 5%. They don't go down permanently in any case
I'm going to say Portland? Because she mostly relies on her high stats
Wot port actually tankiest
?
But best of all ships for tsnking no skill?
pearl heals 10%. Juneau + pearl works once. After that Juneau's skill will not work
port heal, regroup and request command, or fleet redeployment
Or regroup
So, not an advisable tactic
Zombies work yes, unless you run into an enemy that either steals the heal, or turns the heal into damage
Monarch has been downed that way more than once
She has self heal?
Monarch is a zombie BB yeah
Increases own Reload by 0.6 (1) for every 1% loss in her HP. Additionally, when HP is 20% or less, heals for 3% max HP every 2s for 10s. This effect only occurs once per battle.
15%
Or 12% if not Fate Sim 5
Yep
Monarch? Yeah, she's not good vs light
Akane I mean
Oh, no idea. I have her, but haven't used her
If 125 maybe great zombie?
The barrage seems to be AP and the 20s barrage is AP as well I think
Kinda want to make some wery weird opsi mob fleet
I only know she wants to be flagship because her barrage
Or mahbe I sjould ask how often do you need to heal with your set ups when doing c6?
Or strongholds?
Mob fleet*
Strongholds I use healing items after pretty much every siren fight.
Like how many kits?
Uuf
Stronghold every 1-2 fights c6 don’t know cause too lazy to do them knowing I most likely won’t win 
I rememebr using like closer to ~150 healing kits on opsi stronghold was pain
Keep in mind, my OpSi mobbing fleet is a bit on the overpowered side for OpSi
GneiMeta (because leveling her skills), UvH (because generally leveling her), Perseus (125), Agir (dev 28, lvl 125), Jeanne D'arc (125), Drake (dev 30, lvl 125)
Both gnei and uvh are 99
Dds not great if want to heal less?
I use nagato amagi uvh ancho ayaya ykkz cause I used to build only torp meme, can say dd is not something you want to use a lot if you’re lazy
Welp I manual every fight currently unless its really easy
Depends on the CA 😉
For your dock: Prinz Adalbert / London / Magdeburg would be a pretty sweet vanguard
But maybe torp nukers for boss would be nice
And yes, I know magdeburg is a CL
I mean for least healing
If you don't run a healer, you'll need a preload mainfleet if you want to avoid healing too often.
So Richelieu / Chise / Aquila / Jean Bart / Vittore Venetio with enough Sardegna / Prince of Wales with 3+ Eagle union
for leset hesling
Probably zombies for vanguard, and preloads for main fleet
It’s alright me too
Youre relatively new?
huh this thread is very informative. imma note down some of these suggestions for myself as well xD
No I quit for 2 years, just returned last november
Aa so missed quite many ships
I feel like I am just bombing with question after question 
i started playing october 10th. what about you toothly?
I think I am about 2 month old
aka its just over 3 months for me now
I started playing during the first run of Ashen Simulacrum, so somewhere early august 2019
Last I saw you chat was something about 3-4 akaga farming 
you talking about damanta?
2 months and reach w12 is quite fast
About you oreo
ohhhh
i haven't touched 3-4 in a long time lol
its been a while since i got akagi and kaga
Yeh but I wanna speed progress but no ships
So now I just swap focus on opsi prob
Well gonna have some drawbacks 
Alot
eh, no real reason to rush too fast. just go at a standard pace, and try to improve your ship pool
only reason to rush w12 is to get to 12-4 for coins
and xp
12-4 is very good for that
Yeh
I'm off towards dinner. Good luck with grinding 😉
im surprised you havent retro'ed independence yet
Welp I had few reasons 1 no planes for it just got and second no coins
But now I just got out of gacha hell
So little by little getting more coins
Uvh took almost 170 pulls
I should prob close this thread
Got everything you need?
considering all the level 70 common ships, im guessing you were doing those for fleet tech?
Welp now I have plan but I still want fleet for min hesling but to achieve that I kinda need ships I dont habe
So pr3 and gear lab mostly
Cassin downes phoenix 
Nope
what for?
I did few for 3-4 grinding for f4u
ah
I literslly had 2 f4u only line 2 daysbago
Now like 5?
The game rude witj tech boxes
Givingnme bsd gear lmao
I’m running out of hellcat 
Gold ones?
Yeah
Well game has gave me 0 of them
gold boxes are stupid. I have so many damn ship maintainance gears
Instead now I have 2 cranes
yeah, the cranes suck
Xd
It heals you a whole 15hp
And only for repair ships
but don't worry, your gear issues will go away after a while.
Yeh just pain
this is my current gear:
Cant do luch
Lemme check mine sec
yeah, 3 months of playing, 3 sets of black and white shells
And 3 black shells
For some reasons I got 3 white 2 black 
Always bought them in pairs though
you probably spent 1200 on independence that month, so you didnt have enough to get the black
I spent it last month after the x3 so definitely enough for all of them
4 aa guns 
Little?
Oof yeah
Well you’ll need more for w13 too
Wait where is my ss guns?
Lemme check
Oj they are in tje pick oof
Yesh 4
Sexy bofors slow to get
Staag wants elecs
Just get staag from research 
Others need more boxes
Yeh 
About the opsi should I just ignore min hesling fleet for now?
Or make one with whst I hav
Yeah that would take more effort to raise than manually heal at port 
No
Wot oof
Breh so anogher 2 year ish?
Probably


thank you
